摘要：The African VLBI Network (AVN) is an initiative by SKA-SA to establish VLBI stations on the African Continent through conversion of existing telecommunications facilities or building new facilities. The immediate focus is on converting an existing 32m satellite communication antenna at Nkutunse, Ghana as a joint venture between SKA-SA and Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC). Phase one of these conversions would include the application of pointing direction of these antennas. OSKAR simulator is therefore used to simulate Ghana’s antenna to determine the beam patterns at different intensities of Stokes I, Q, U and V. This would help research scientists and engineers to know the amount of field strength being received by these antennas. OSKAR presented the beam pattern in a form of geometric dipole showing clearly the field strength at different intensities
